IN WHICH I KILL ALL PRODUCTIVITY FOR A NIGHT
So I had this idea in chat and---*thwap*---it's positively evil.
Your guide? TVTropes, the site that will soon ruin your life if it hasn't already done so several times over.Not that I've ever had twenty trope tabs open, no siree!
Your mission? List every trope that you know of that applies to your character!
If you're playing a canon character, you've got it relatively easy. Your canon probably has its own page and some tropes for your character listed for you already. If you're playing an OC from a canon, that canon's tropes should be helpful. And then there's the obvious ones like werewolf tropes or vampire tropes you can easily find with a search.
And if all that doesn't help you? HIT THE RANDOMIZER OVER AND OVER. Soon you'll find something that sorta fits, which leads to something that totally fits, that leads to more things that fit, until you're lost in a pothole maze of tropes. It's fun.
Go go go!

Action Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionGirl) Not only is she an Action Girl, she is THE Action Girl in her canon.
Antagonist in Mourning (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AntagonistInMourning) Considering how often Holly feels this way towards Artemis, even though at best he's a shaking ally and at worst he's one of the biggest threats to her species, is it really any wonder people ship these two?
Boatlights (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Boatlights) Due to some weirdness in the time stream, Holly has one blue eye, one hazel. (I really should edit that into my icons.)
Claustrophobia (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Claustrophobia) She's mostly over it, but it may reappear on the Meatship.
Cultural Posturing (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CulturalPosturing) Her opinion on Humans and their way of life isn't the best.
Fastest Gun in
the WestHaven (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FastestGunInTheWest) In Book 2, she makes a point about how good a shot she still is even after having her finger sliced off and reattached.The Fair Folk (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFairFolk) The People in their entirety tend to fit into this.
Friendly Enemy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FriendlyEnemy) Her relationship with Artemis.
Hey You (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeyYou) Expect Holly to call most people some variation of 'Mudperson' for a while.
Military Maverick (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MilitaryMaverick) First female officer, ignores orders, breaks rules. Alternatively, she's a Cowboy Cop (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CowboyCop).
Powered Armor (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoweredArmor?from=Main.PoweredArmour) Her cop-issue body armor, plus helmet, wings, and a freaking gravity lowering belt fit into this.
Our Elves Are Different (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurElvesAreBetter?from=Main.OurElvesAreDifferent) Very much so.
Ray Gun (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RayGun) The Nuetrino3000 fires an invisible heat ray (anyone else thinking War of the Worlds?) that at its lowest setting just stuns and at the highest setting can cut through metal like butter.
Stockholm Syndrome (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockholmSyndrome") Girl has it bad.
Weaksauce Weakness (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeaksauceWeakness) Her powers are negated by being dipped in animal fat.
